    Maybe this a idea, a box to put the seeds in and everyone send a couple seeds they can mis to the person who starts with that seedbox. Make a list who wants to be a part in the seedbox exchange and the first person can take some seeds and puts some seeds in. That person sends the seeds to the second person, takes some seeds out and puts some in. The second person sends the box tho the next person and so on, every person just has to pay the cost to send the box to the next person. At the end of the year the box is at the first person again, and if there is not enough in the box everyone can send some new seeds. Box gets sorted out for next year, and the fun can go its round again each year.

    Just a idea, can do it the way you all want to.

    I do not eat pig meat, but as fat we can use different fats. Sheep fat is also easy to prepare for being kept outside the fridge or freezer. And cook with fat, the meat that is given to us of course we are not going to eat our pets or beautiful flowers…

    Know that feeling, just make your to do list short so you can hang on to that and get all that done.

    I always ha a top 10 or longer unrealistic, so now a top 3 and the rest moves to the next day/time. Works for me, have to make me do it but so does others. No way sitting on the couch and giving up right.

    Nana is around 6 months, she really likes to be pet but if you clean her cage nope not having that. Just let her be and move on, no time to wait till she is ready again.

    Mr rabbit can do his job soon with Nana, around 8 months before a year right?

    Glad your pets are all doing fine, it was cold brrr. But with good housing, food water and care they can have a lot.

    My best friend she is like my little sister, has Guinea pigs the big ones. Comes over today to bring her bedding, lives in a village. She gets ready to use compost for her flower garden.

    We have our breeding and meat, but for the record they are pets used for therapy and we grow flowers.

    Nana is being a princess, she has a little bit of a attitude a little bit mutch. She will not let you pet her, if she does not get it her way. So ok close up and let her be, wrong of course though luck missy no time to play your game.

    Miss and mister rabbit are coming soon, pick them up this week hopefully.

    And how are youre pets doing?

    Like looking in a mirror, hold on there you are also moving heads up.

    Our house there is no where to hide, only in the garden so you can run but not hide. But most time I am the one going out, for my therapy in the garden. Petting and flowers, the best conversations with God who knows all.

    After many years doing sports, meditation works good problem is one time I fell asleep never had that aldo others say I am gone they can not snap me out. I know was very tired, but the meditation part I can remember, the sleeping part I missed.

    Anyway the punching bag does good to, bike and running.

    Good luck with moving!

    Nope no way, because it is not for (our) freedom Having the governme(s) not behind or on your side but against, is a whole different ballgame.

    Just going to hug pets and plant flowers.

    Sad you have to go true that your whole life, but good to see you made you lifestyle give you a steady home to feel save.

    I think homesteading (freesteading) and following God, is one of the best ways to have a blessed life. Now we all know we have to work hard for all that, so keep on freesteading and preparing!
